Assignment 3
For this assignment, I had to watch videos of different camera shots taken by my fellow classmates. I had to comment specifically on how the shot they used conveyed different emotions. For this assignment, I chose to comment on Mickey and Kiley's blogs.
Kiley's blog was very coherent almost every shot had one of two different characters, most with these two characters interacting in a romantic way. This was my comment for Kiley's blog:
The panning shot did a good job at establishing the scene without particularly focusing on one subject. The two-shot was very effective in creating a clear emotional connection between the two characters. The cameo shot was cool because it forced the viewer to pay attention to only what the character was saying. My favorite shot was the establishing shot as it clearly established the setting for the rest of the shots taken.
Mickey's blog was very random, while the subject was the same for almost all of them it seems to just have that subject doing random things. However, the shots used by Mickey are all used in very interesting ways, which created far different emotions than that of the shots used by Kiley. This was my comment on Mickey's blog:
The high angle shot was very unique. It provided an interesting way of conveying what the subject was doing. The dolly shot was very ominous, the weird lighting captured in it and increasing the speed of the camera made it seem like something out of a horror movie. I found your tilt shot interesting because your feet were visible at the start of it before it moved this almost made the shot seem also like a pov shot. The establishing shot was very good it captured not only a setting but an ominous mood, as the classroom seemed very loud and wild for the shot.
Overall, this assignment was interesting as it allowed me to see other ways of using the shots that we were taught.
